    Busted lip

    I went in with my husband 10/3 but it was already passed midnight soo technically 10/4 I decided to go to the bathroom and I noticed the lady's in the bathroom in the second stall that the door was falling off towards the wall and I decided I didn't want to deal with that so I waited to use the stall closest to the door to avoid dealing with a broken door however as soon as I got out of my stall looked to my right to go wash my hands the bathroom stall door that slides fell off its hinges and busted my lip open scratched my chest up I was crying loud asf and bleeding a lot with in 2 minutes the manager "Robert" came inside and gave me an ice pack and immediately picked the door up no greeting no apology all that before I could even get a photo of the door on the ground for proof i proceeded to find my husband who was outside waiting for me at the bar and tell him what happened and we asked for him and he came my husband tried talking to him and since it's so loud in there he obviously needs to talk louder and he was talking with his hands which made that guy mad and got kicked out when Robert finally spoke to me all he said was send me the bill mind you he gave no contact info no last name just his name is Robert we then called the police to have this documented since it's a civil matter there's nothing they could do however the paramedics looked at me and it's not quite deep enough for stitches and this all could've been avoided with an actual sincere apology I'm hurt and left bloody in the face and your first reaction is to kick us out right so I will not be coming back and be telling everybody I know not to come back this was ridiculous and he was rude when someone is hurt due to your faulty equipment that should become a priority it could have been worse had my mouth have been open or me shorter that could have knocked my teeth out or knocked me in my head unconscious DO NOT COME HERE A girl waiting outside the bathroom told me that he also lied and told people I ran into the door not that a literal door fell on my face

It's really cool. And cozy. We sat at a high-top table away from the bar. We usually sit at bars, but that's ok. Got there late. TV's are everywhere. Not a problem finding a tv with our game on it. Our server was perfection. I think her name was Kelly but can't swear to it. Very attentive and very nice. Good looking, woman, too. The food was good. I ordered the wings. I don't like wing drumettes, especially the really large ones. I prefer the wing tips. Wing drumettes are supposed to be small. The whole idea is that you eat many of them like you would a snack or appetizer, not one or two really big ones where you get full, like a KFC wing. But the wing tips were normal sized. And they were flavored well and cooked properly. We also ordered the nachos. While I appreciate the thought, no thanks. Sports bar nachos should be sports-ish. I mean, melted cheddar or nacho cheese smothering yellow corn chips and chili or ground beef, and beans and jalapenos. The nachos at Junkyard are boutique, like something women would eat at The Henry or Viggilucci's. The Junkyard has a sort of rough and tough motif, you know, steampunk/biker/mechanic/car enthusiast. The nachos should reflect that theme. Other than that, we will definitely be back. OH!..one more nuance. The back corner tv's are blocked by this huge "Junkyard" sign over the pool table. Hope those tv's weren't the expensive ones. Maybe raise or lower that sign. My view in photo.

There's plenty of options in the area but what caught our eye, Park101's decked out for the World Cup games. "Let's go!" Parking? No parking lot of its own. You'll look for street or if looping isnt your thing, parking is available in the plaza across the street. What's the 411? Park101 is an order and pay at counter first. You'll get a number, find a seat and they'll bring the food to you. They have a nice courtyard. Plenty of TV's. We got in just before 3pm on a Tuesday and we had pretty much any table to choose from. We grabbed a seat in the shade and after 4 rounds of drinks and a 96 minutes of World Cup soccer we were set! I had the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. I've been to Philly, had some of the best by way of locals in Philly. Park101 is more of a Torta vibe. To call this a Philly sets certain expectations and this, although a good sandwich, is not a Philly. Overall, Park101 hits the spot. Great place to enjoy some food and libations, under the California skies. Catch a game and hang out.

The majority of the outdoor seating downstairs was in direct sun, compared to the upper deck that had a bunch of umbrellas. I assume this was because they didn't want to block the large TVs. They also have some indoor seating and a small bar downstairs. This appeared to be a very popular place for watching sporting events. You order food before you enter and drinks at the bar past the host stand. Food was decent. My husband got the fish and chips and it was a very generous portion of 5 large pieces of battered fish with fries. I got the tri tip arugula salad and made it into a wrap, which was ok. The tri tip was pretty subtle. We got our son the kids cheeseburger and while it looked really good, I was surprised that they would put pickles, mustard, and thousand island dressing on a kids burger. There were two cheeseburger patties on it, but just unfortunate with the toppings as a lot of kids are picky with sauces. The fries were seasoned well and crispy.

Our waiter was pretty cool, although his name is escaping me now. We ordered a few appetizers, wings, steak taquitos, and the pretzel. We noshed on these before we ordered our meals of bison burger, and two single patty smash burgers. Not sure if it's because it was around 7:30/8 o'clock at night, but the food was not up to par according to the two that I was with, who frequent this place. The steak taquitos tasted a tad overdone, but still pretty good since it was the first time I've had them. The pretzel was really good, but the dipping sauces not so good. I still cannot figure out why one of them was a hot caramel sauce. I have never put caramel on my pretzel and it tasted like crap to be honest. The queso must've been the bottom of the pot because it was hard and kind of burnt tasting, so pretty disappointed in the pretzel choice. Our meals came and honest to God the Smashburger looked like a kids meal. This tiny burger plopped on a big white plate with onion rings, and the burger was not good. The bison burger did not have any of the sauces on it that it stated in the menu so he needed to ask for some love on the burger. So the waiter brought over a bunch of sauces. It's a shame because they talk about this place all the time and I really wanted to try it and it just wasn't up to par. I ended up taking my Smashburger home, and the next day I scraped the nasty sauce off it, added mayonnaise to the bun and an extra slice of cheese and it was actually pretty good. I definitely wanna come again because they talk about this place all the time and how good the food is. Maybe it was just the night we went.

I don't think I've ever actually liked a meal I've ordered, let alone loved one. Every time I give it another chance, I leave disappointed. Last night I ordered the steak bowl and it had almost no flavor. It also came with a ton of large broccoli stems that were undercooked and woody. For $25, it just wasn't worth it. At this point, if I come back, it'll probably only be for drinks or maybe happy hour apps.
